Dearest Hella. This cleared up a lot for me from the past and it’s preparing me for how to deal with my dad who has dementia. There are risks for me in this situation as he confuses me for someone else. So how do I love him as my father while keeping me safe. Thank you for clarifying when my part ends and the other person’s begins.
